- SMå printer simplifies the impression with only three buttons and a single LED for state updates
- The upper feeding paper design keeps space on the desktop while maintaining up to 120 sheets reliably
- Maintenance is intuitive, allowing an ink replacement with one hand without spills or uncomfortable handling
Our printers have been seen for a long time as bulky and frustrating gadgets that occupy too much desktop space and often require complicated maintenance.
The SMå printer, designed by Jakob Höxtermann, challenges these assumptions with a design that emphasizes simplicity, sustainability and compactness.
Unlike many household and commercial printers that are built with glued components, the SMå wears screws to support its parts, which makes it easier to disassemble and recycle at the end of your life.
Simplified functionality: No for heavy duty printing
Traditional printers often overwhelm users with unclear buttons, menus and indicators.
The SMå simplifies this with only three buttons: power, stop and a configuration option for occasional settings.
A single LED communicates the state of the printer using intuitive colors, which allows users to know instantly when everything is ready, when the ink needs to be replaced or when a paper jam occurs.
The design of this printer encourages reduced use of paper and ink, while its direct interface facilitates the operation.
Do you remember the Panasonic SP-70 and SPV series with a vertical screen printer? The SMå printer recreates this vertical design, which visually and functionally distinguishes it from standard horizontal designs.
When feeding paper from the upper part, the SMå retains the valuable space of the desk and at the same time offers storage for up to 120 sheets without the need for additional trays.
A transparent extension ensures that the stacked paper remains stable, which is a subtle but practical characteristic that is often overlooked in other printers.
Maintenance is equally simple: replacing ink implies lifting the external housing and sliding in a new cartridge with one hand, avoiding messy spills or uncomfortable handling.
Visually, the SMå adopts a minimalist style with soft edges that are naturally mixed in contemporary household or office environments.
It does not master a desk or appears as an industrial tool, which can facilitate integration in spaces where aesthetics imports.
This printer pushes intuition and can be configured with smartphones or PC.
That said, this device does not include advanced features found in high -end business printers and do not meet heavy duty needs.
